Join us on September 13, 2025 for our annual fundraising event, Backpack Bivouac. This year, we’re bringing a fresh twist to the camp fun you love with an exciting Mardi Gras theme. Get ready to enjoy the lively sounds of jazz, indulge in local wine tastings, and immerse yourself in New Orleans-inspired activities and entertainment. It’s a night you won’t want to miss, all in support of Camp Ho Mita Koda. STAY TUNED FOR MORE DETAILS!

Need child care to attend the event? We’ve got you covered! New for 2025, we’re offering special child tickets for kids aged 5–16. While you enjoy the event, your child will get to participate camp activities led by our trained staff and enjoy camp-style dinner and snacks.

All event proceeds will support Camp Ho Mita Koda’s impactful programming for youth and adults with Type 1 Diabetes.
